Mission

CSB Campus Ministry functions under the inspiration of the 2002 US Conference of Catholic Bishops' (USCCB) Pastoral Letter entitled "Empowered by the Spirit: Campus Ministry Faces the Future."

We take guidance from the Letter's six aspects of campus ministry which support the Church's mission to those in higher education while reaching out to both believers and non-believers in fidelity to the Benedictine core values:

Forming the Faith Community

Appropriating the Faith

Forming the Christian Conscience

Educating for Justice

Facilitating Personal Development

Developing Leaders for the Future

Professional and Para-professional Campus Ministry staffs encounter students where they are in their faith journeys and accompany them through:

Breaking bread together,

Formation of Christian conscience,

Exposure to other world religions,

Active engagement and advocacy for the common good, and

Opportunities to pray and participate in retreats.

Our ministry is grounded in the Gospel:

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, and to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor." Luke 4:18-19
